ABOUT ME
Writer, runner, cyclist, and family man.
“A HEART IS NOT JUDGED BY HOW MUCH YOU LOVE, BUT BY HOW MUCH YOU ARE LOVED BY OTHERS.”
Clay Cormany is the author of Fast-Pitch Love, a YA novel that combines the angst and thrill of teenage romance with softball competition. Before writing Fast-Pitch Love, Clay spent over 20 years as a writer and editor for Ohio’s State Board of Education. His creative work has appeared in numerous central Ohio publications, including the Columbus Dispatch and Spring Street, Columbus State Community College’s literary magazine. He has also edited numerous books, including a three-volume biography of Christopher Columbus and A Death Prolonged by Dr. Jeff Gordon, which received coverage in the New York Times and on PBS.
When he is not writing, Clay enjoys running and cycling. He loves his wife Becky, and his children, stepchildren, and grandchildren. He is a tutor at Columbus State Community College and a committee member for the 1Girl Project, an initiative that seeks to develop the leadership potential of middle school and high school girls. He also supports literacy and arts programs, especially in his home community of Worthington. Clay tries to live by the Golden Rule and hopes to leave the world a better place than he found it.

My book Fast-Pitch Love was published in November 2014 by Astraea Press. The year before, I co-chaired the committee that organized, edited, and published the anthology Just Paper and Ink.
THE BULLYBUSTER
Ridgeview High School is abuzz with gossip after notorious bully Trevor Newsome is knocked flat by someone — or something.

The police are stumped, but Owen’s investigation leads to some amazing discoveries as well as a chance to go out with beautiful Erica Litvak, who might know more about Trevor’s attacker than she admits.
